JOSEPH X Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I am finding it really difficult to find a retailer in the UK who is releasing L&D before the 17th. When you tell them it is downloadable on the 17th, at 8am, before their store is open, a glazed look comes over their eyes and they look at you like your speaking Swahili. "But it`s not available til the 17th" they mumble. "YES, YES, I know that, but I want to buy the special boxed set AND have the redeem code to hand when it`s available to download at 8am. Otherwise, if I want to get it on time I`ll just have to use ordinary ms points, and miss out on the souvenir box and poster. Do you understand?" "But it`s not available til the 17th" "Aaargh, f**! off you c*+ting c*nt. Cant I f**king get it through to your thick skull you stupid ba*[email protected], THAT`S TOO F**KING LATE. "But it`s not avilable til the 17th" I need to calm down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mafioso86 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 they may have been instructed to not sell it until the 17th... or they may just think that they can't sell it until the 17th. You can get in big trouble if you break release dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwing 0613 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Some people who work at game stores are just clueless. That's why your better off speaking to the manager or someone who works there who's into games & knows about them. If it's a general question, then speak to anyone. But when it's something like this, your better off speaking to someone more knowledable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get in big trouble if you break release dates. THERE IS NO EARLY. It`s a download. Available to everyone with 1600ms on their account at midnight western pacific time. It doesn`t matter if I had the boxed version six weeks ago, I still wouldn`t be able to download it til 8am on the 17th. And what about Gamestop in the US? They`re shipping it on the 9th.

EnchantedX360 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 (edited) Here in Australia, many have been instructed not to sell it until the 17th! http://ebgames.com.au/Xbox/product.cfm?ID=13936 I'd try printing this and telling them if they have what you printed in stock.

They`re shipping it on the 9th. yeah but they might think they'll get in trouble even for just selling an empty box early. Apparently gamestop in the US is selling the box beginning on the 9th, which would make me think it's probably perfectly fine for them to sell it then... but people are dumb, paranoid, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enjoii Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 If you're looking for a redemption code to use at the same time you're able to buy it with points, why not just buy it with points? But yes, it's getting difficult to find somebody who works in a game station and actually knows what they're talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they sell it to you after being instructed by a manager/district manager/chain administrator of some sort not to sell it, then that employee is in deep sh*t.
